​Today last year was that fateful day when half my face froze, and my body deteriorated. When something that significant happens to you physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually it really transforms you.

And yes, today as I write this I am unparalyzed and have been living with so much more gratitude and drive for purposeful action. I can’t help but reflect and look back at the full year that has passed since then, and share some personal “epiphanies” that stuck with me.
